Anti-Muslim movie played in Tarpon Springs High School class

The Pinellas County School District is looking into why a controversial, anti-Muslim propaganda film was played in a high school classroom.

A parent of a student at Tarpon Springs High school said his daughter told him she watched the movie, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," in her sophomore history class on Wednesday.

The Council on American Islamic Relations says this film has no place in schools.

"This film is pure propaganda that is really used to demonize the Muslim religion by a group, the Clarion Project that was designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group," said Thania Diaz Clevenger, the Civil Rights Dir. with CAIR.
